Helping you recover using physiotherapy in the comfort of your home
FAQ - Your local questions
My mother is on Ascot Ward at Wokingham Community Hospital. Can you take over when she comes home?
Yes, and that is a good moment to arrange it. The rehabilitation wards at Wokingham Community Hospital — Ascot and Windsor — do focused work with physiotherapy on site, and people often come home still improving rather than finished. The risk is the gap: a fortnight at home with nothing happening undoes a surprising amount. Ring us while she is still in, tell us roughly when she is due out, and we will pick up the goals her therapy team were working towards rather than starting again from the beginning.
My father is sitting down for longer every day and we cannot put our finger on why. Is that worth a call?
Yes. Sitting more is often the first visible sign of something that started earlier — weakness, pain nobody has got on top of, breathlessness, or simply the quiet decision that getting up is not worth the effort. Whatever the cause, the sitting itself then makes things worse, because muscle goes quickly when it is not used. Nothing needs to have happened for this to be worth assessing, and it is a great deal easier to reverse now than after a fall and a stay at the Royal Berkshire.
My grandmother is 91. Is there really any point at her age?
Yes, and her age tells us far less than what has changed lately. Strength responds at any age — the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy built a public campaign on precisely that, and the evidence behind it is good. What matters most is the trajectory: somebody who was walking to the shops in the spring and is not now has plenty to aim at, whatever the number. We would assess her properly and say honestly what we think is achievable, including if our view is that the time for a particular goal has passed.
Do you visit Winnersh, Twyford and Finchampstead?
Yes — Winnersh, Twyford, Finchampstead, Arborfield, Earley and the villages between them. Wokingham is our base for this part of Berkshire and the edges are not a hard boundary. A village address does not change how long we stay or what we work on, and it is often where a home visit matters most: the alternative is somebody being driven in and arriving with most of the day’s energy already spent. If you are further out, ring and ask rather than assuming.
He will do the exercises with you and nothing at all in between. Does that mean it will not work?
Not necessarily, and it is worth finding out why before calling it refusal. Most people who do nothing between visits are not being awkward — they are unsure they are doing it correctly, nervous about being alone if something goes wrong, or the exercises simply do not fit the shape of the day. We would rather leave two things he will genuinely do than eight he will not, and we build the work into what already happens — standing from the chair, the walk to the kettle — so progress does not depend on anybody remembering a programme.
Can you see someone in a care home in Wokingham?
Yes, and we work with the home rather than around it. We ask the manager first, keep staff informed and fit around mealtimes and personal care. Families most often ring when somebody has been doing steadily less since they moved in — not through any failing of the home, but because somewhere everything is done for you is somewhere strength quietly goes. We leave written guidance so the work carries on between visits, and managers across Wokingham and Bracknell Forest are very welcome to contact us directly.
My mother looks after my father and she is worn out. Does any of this help her?
Usually a great deal, though not in the way people expect. The help she gets is indirect: every time he manages a transfer on his own, that is one she has not had to do, and those add up across a day far more than anyone counts. We also spend time on what she should let him attempt by himself, which is the hardest part for a wife — standing back while somebody struggles feels like neglect and is very often the opposite. And someone coming into the house each week notices when the person doing the caring is the one who needs help.

Care homes in Wokingham
Most of this work is arranged and paid for privately by families — a block of visits after a fall or a hospital stay, or ongoing work to keep someone moving. It sits alongside whatever the home already provides, and we work with their staff so the exercises carry on between our visits. You can read more about additional physiotherapy for residents.
